  • 'Unidirectional'

Example Usage

DimensionTextPosition = 'Automatic'
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Text Position property is Automatic.

DimensionTextPosition <> 'Manual'

Tips

  1. The single quote characters (') at the start and end of DimensionTextPosition_String are mandatory.
  2. The Dimension Text Position property is only defined for angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects.
  3. The child objects of angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects returned by the Query, are not returned.
